    Bobby drew with Stefanova as black, a reasonable result against a legend of women's chess.

    Eric Rosen might struggle, he is outrated by most of the women who are probably just better players than him. The Stafford Gambit will not help him here.

    I did not realise it for a while but Bobby is the highest rated player in the event. Maria Muzychuk is second highest.

    Bobby drew with white against Olga Girya which is not great for his rating.

    The womens team is smashing the mens team, Irene Sukandar is doing extremely well to be on 2/2.

    Bobby is black against Mariya Muzychuk.

    Excellent work Bobby. Hopefully he can pick up a couple more wins in the rest of the tournament.

    Man appear to have gained a very solid lead (after disasterous first 2 rounds). Bobby has been solid - no losses but only +1.

    Men's team won the event. Bobby won his last round game.
